thoroughly together and add little
black pepper; boil the milk and pour it
over the -four and butter, and stir all the
time to keep smooth; put, the onions in
the sauce and let them remain until the
sauce boils; the sauce ought to be very
thick when served.
SYRUP OF CURRANTs.- two
pounds of red currants not quite ripe,
one pound Of cherries rather ripe, and
half a pound OF raspbcrries; take out the
stones from the cherries; crush the whole
together. and when well mixed leave the
fruits in stone or crockcry vessel for
twenty-four hours Then put the whole
in a wire gauze sieve and squeeze the
fruits with the hands; place over the
sieve a napkin well rinsed and strain the

and to each pint of juice put two pounds
of best white sugar, pour it into

After the third or fourth boiling take
the syrup off the fire, skim it and pour
it into pan or jug, and when cold put
it into small bottles; well cork them and
keep them in cellar or some cool place.

Another idea struck the baffied search

He bought the morning paper, and
hurried to Newbury street. 1t WAS very
early, himself the first visitor So he
tried to pass the time in reading. In
stead. he did the most unromantic thing
possible-went sound asleep. Awakeful
night, after n hurried journey, had
wearied him greatly; the quietude Of the
deserted gallery was irresistible, and
Dame Nature placidly poked Miss Ro-
nance into her pocket for bit.
After a refreshing nap, Reuben awoke
to find the rooms quite full of people. A
little ashamed of his ''forgetfulness " he
rose and sauntered about the gallery.
Presently, something arrested him 1t
was delicate, subtly sweet odor, which
in fash carried him back to old Break
Neck and May-daY, years gone BY.
He looked around now, eagerly.
A lady in dark blue travelling dress
stood before one of the pictures, but not
looking at it. On the contrary, she was
holding to her face, and as nearly hid
ing, in little caressing motion of de-
light, bunch of trailing arbutus.
Despite its distinguished and foreign air,
there was something very familiar about
the trim figure; and the half-hidden pro-
file was, could be, only that of Beatrice.
His heart gave great bound and in an
instant he was at the ladys side.
The brown eyes looked up at him in
glad amaze. How lovely she had grown
Beatrice, darling, l was crossing the

life, will you be my wifeT'
Once more the soft eyes filed with
happy tears, and vailed themselves be-
fore his passionate glance; once more a
white hand held out to him a bunch of
their own sacred, dainty flowers. He
took them both, the hand and the bios

them to the end-Frdak Lesiie's.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
UsefaI Hints nn Pastrr.

Butter and eggs for cake should
always be beaten to a cream.
In beating eggs beat the yokes until
you can take up spoonful; whip whites

Two mothers sat opposite each other
in a car on Michigan Central train going
to Toledo the other day. Each had a
baby about a year old, and each baby
came in for a share of the admiration Of

mothers jealous, and after thinking the
matter over for awhile one of them leaned
across the aisle and said

Speaking of Washington society, Mrs.
Gen. M-planned a series of receptions,
and allotted her friends in such manner
as to form congenial circles and prevent
crowding her salon. Colonel -. a
crusty old bore, attended the first one,
and the following conversation took
place:
VERY pleasant lot of people here this
evening, ma'am; but one misses a good

The First Mention of Ice Cream.

The first mention of ice cream that is
found in our history is in the account of
the festivities following Washington's
first Inauguration as President, in the
City of New York in 1889. Among the
ices used on that occasion was ice cream,
which is said to have been prepared, or
at least suggested, by Dolly Adams, then
the brightest star in social and diplomatic
circles. Pittsbur0 Dipateh.

Fish Travelling Overland.

A singular fact in connection with the
pike is its habit of suddenly appearing
in ponds in which it did not previously
exist. Experiments which have been
made would seem to point to the infer
euce that this fish, like the eel, will
travel over land for a short distance
through wet grass, to reach water. An
instance of this kind once happened at
the Geological Gardens. During the
night, tank in which pipe was con-
fined burst, and the pike being left, was
found in the morning by the keeper max
ing its way along the path toward a pond
at some distance. When picked up it
had already gone some twenty yards,
and seemed to have sufficient strength
left to accomplish the remainder of the
journey Chdnibers's Journal
